The princess traveled through time for a year to help the prince build his kingdom and then left

Qin Rubing took a deep breath, threw away the distracting thoughts in her mind, and stared at Xiao Yiyu intently.

At this moment, Xiao Yiyun was wearing a black nightgown, with an upright and agile figure. This was very different from his previous image, as if he had become a different person.

The nightgown fits his body tightly, outlining his strong muscles, making him look particularly mysterious and majestic.

His face was shrouded in the night, but his bright eyes revealed firmness and determination.

This outfit makes him look more like a warrior lurking in the dark, full of danger and power.

Qin Rubing was slightly startled. She remembered that when he was still Zuo Qingyun, he liked to wear green clothes, always had a folding fan in his hand, and was elegant and easy-going, with a smile in his eyes.

Today, there is no more handsome young man Zuo Qingyun in the world, but only the domineering new Southern Emperor Xiao Yiyun.

Qin Rubing knew clearly that Xiao Yiyun's successful leadership of the Southern Kingdom would be of great significance to the Eastern Kingdom.

With Xiao Yiyu around, there will be no more wars on the southern border of the Eastern Kingdom.

In this way, Chu Tiancheng can eliminate his worries and devote himself wholeheartedly to the struggle for the throne at home.

This was also the original reason why she came all the way to Yuncheng.

Qin Rubing knew very well that only by ensuring the stability of the Southern Kingdom could Chu Tiancheng focus on the internal power struggle.

To achieve this goal, we must get the support and cooperation of Xiao Yiyun.

Only in this way can she lay a solid foundation for Chu Tiancheng's path to succession and ultimately complete the task of helping him become emperor.

Achieving friendly and neighborly cooperation with the Southern Country is not only related to Chu Tiancheng's future, but also to the stability of the situation in the entire Eastern Country.

Now that the dust has settled, she won't take away a cloud.

After a pause, Qin Rubing said softly: "I won't come again."

Xiao Yiyun's heart sank, and after a long while he managed to squeeze out two words, "Really?"

Qin Rubing said in an ambiguous tone: "I may be going to a very far place and will never come back."

"How far is it?" Xiao Yiyu asked the question with a trembling voice, feeling a dull pain in his heart as if being hit by a heavy hammer.

His eyes were full of pain and helplessness, as if he had seen the distance between himself and Qin Rubing growing farther and farther.

Qin Rubing took a deep breath and said slowly: "It's far away from the Shenzhou continent."

Her voice was low and firm, but there was a barely perceptible sadness in her eyes.

After saying this, she raised her head and looked towards the vast night sky, as if looking for some answer.

The stars are twinkling in the night sky, like dazzling gems inlaid in the black sky.

Qin Rubing's gaze wandered across the starry sky, and her thoughts became increasingly erratic.

She recalled the good times she had spent with Xiao Yiyu. Those warm memories were like shooting stars across the sky, brief but dazzling.

However, she had to face the fact of separation.

Xiao Yiyu stood quietly aside, looking at Qin Rubing silently.

He felt extremely heavy-hearted and didn't know how to bridge the huge distance.

Qin Rubing's gaze swept across the night sky for a few times before finally retracting and looking at Xiao Yiyu.

Under the moon and flowers, Xiao Yiyun and Qin Rubing looked at each other in silence.

After a long time, Xiao Yiyun turned and left, disappearing into the night.

No one said goodbye or bye.

On the official road from the Southern Country to the Eastern Country, in a speeding carriage.

Qin Rubing turned her head to look out the window, her eyes inexplicably moist.

Chu Tiancheng opened his eyes and looked at the person next to him, and happened to see a flash of crystal tears.

What did she remember? Was she reluctant to leave him?

This thought caused Chu Tiancheng to feel a complicated emotion.

However, Chu Tiancheng was not willing to ask about the relationship between Qin Rubing and Xiao Yiyun.

Because he knew in his heart that even if he asked, Qin Rubing might not tell him the truth.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent and buried this doubt deep in his heart.

Five days later, Chu Tiancheng and Qin Rubing returned to the imperial capital.

When Emperor Dong learned that Xiao Yiyun had sent more than a dozen carts of gold, silver and jewelry from the Southern Kingdom, an expression of joy that was difficult to conceal appeared on his face.

These treasures not only represent huge wealth, but also an affirmation and consolidation of his ruling position.

The Emperor of the East was secretly glad that his original decision was correct. It was indeed a wise move to let the King of Yan go to the Southern Kingdom.

That evening, the Emperor of the East hosted a banquet for the Prince of Yan and his wife in Changqiu Palace, and Crown Prince Chu Tianxing was also present.

The King of Yan and his wife walked into the banquet hall hand in hand and saluted respectfully to the Emperor of the East.

Dongdi smiled and motioned for them to stand up, and kindly asked them about their experiences and observations in the Southern Kingdom.

The King of Yan and his wife reported to the Emperor of the East in detail what they had seen and heard in the Southern Kingdom, including the local customs, political situation and the relationship with local officials.

Dongdi listened with great interest and nodded from time to time.

The King of Yan said in a calm and confident tone: "Father, I have established friendly relations with the Southern Kingdom in accordance with your will and have successfully carried out trade."

Dongdi showed a satisfied smile on his face and nodded slightly to express his appreciation. "You did an excellent job! Not only did you successfully complete the mission, but you also brought back such valuable wealth and important information for the country."

Immediately, the Eastern Emperor rewarded the Prince of Yan and his wife with many rare jewels, gorgeous silks, exquisite porcelain, etc.

The King and his wife of Yan were moved to tears and immediately knelt down to express their gratitude.

Prince of Yan Chu Tiancheng stole the show this time. Crown Prince Chu Tianxing saw it and was furious, but he couldn't show it at the dinner party.

He lowered his head and said nothing, his hand holding the wine glass almost crushing it.

Xiao Yiyun's rise and enthronement brought Chu Tiancheng more political resources and influence, which will help him occupy a more advantageous position in the power struggle in the Eastern Kingdom.

Xiao Yifei's downfall poses endless risks to Chu Tianxing.

They had colluded secretly, done all kinds of evil things, and at the same time knew each other's secrets.

Unknowingly, the fate of the brothers Xiao Yiyun and Xiao Yifei was closely linked to the brothers Chu Tiancheng and Chu Tianxing.

Three days later, at the Jia Mansion in the imperial capital.

Xiao Yifei, who had been hiding everywhere, quietly came to the imperial capital. His current identity is Mr. Jia, the distant nephew of the wealthy businessman Mr. Jia.

At this time, Master Jia lived in a spacious courtyard arranged for him by his uncle, drinking tea leisurely.

Li Qing, his confidant who had always been by his side, stood beside him respectfully.

Even during the previous escape, Li Qing never left and was very loyal.

Master Jia took a sip of tea and nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, my uncle is indeed a wealthy businessman. This tea tastes great, no worse than the one from the Prince's Mansion."

Li Qing hurriedly complimented him, "If it weren't for your decisiveness, where would we find such a comfortable place to stay?"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Five days ago, Los Angeles.

Mr. Jia's father was a wealthy local businessman. In order to let his son see the world, he wrote a letter to his cousin in the imperial capital, hoping that he could take care of his nephew.

"Son, you are not a child anymore, go to the imperial capital and try your luck."

"Yes, father."

Master Jia left Luo City with the letter and went to the imperial capital to seek refuge with Master Jia.

Two days ago, Master Jia met Xiao Yifei and Li Qing who were wandering around on the road.

Xiao Yifei originally just wanted to rob, but after seeing the letter, he became malicious and actually killed Master Jia and took his place.

A day ago, he disguised himself slightly and swaggered into the south gate of the imperial capital with Li Qing.

After asking along the way, the two arrived at the gate of Jia Mansion.

Mr. Jia had not seen this cousin for more than ten years. With the letter from his cousin, he naturally believed it and quickly made good arrangements for him.

Xiao Yifei knew very well that his current situation was very dangerous. Not only did he have to avoid being hunted by the government, but he also had to guard against Chu Tianxing's assassination.

The safest place for him is to change his appearance and hide among the people.

November 5th, Prince’s Mansion.

After listening to the secret guard's report, Chu Tianxing said with displeasure: "It's been so many days, and there's still no trace of Xiao Yifei?"

Xiao Yifei's escape was not only a huge threat to Xiao Yiyu, but Chu Tianxing also felt the same pressure.

Xiao Yifei had teamed up with Chu Tianxing many times to jointly plan and execute assassinations against Chu Tiancheng and Qin Rubing.

These actions were a secret between them, but at the same time they also made Chu Tianxing realize that Xiao Yifei's existence might bring him more trouble.

"Keep investigating. If you find any news that he has come to the imperial capital, be sure to report it immediately."

"Yes."

What Chu Tianxing was most worried about was that Xiao Yifei would come to the imperial capital. If he was caught by King Yan, he would definitely expose himself.

East Market.

With the letter of introduction from Master Jia's father, Xiao Yifei was not only taken in by Master Jia as his nephew, but he was also given a shop in the East Market.

From then on, Master Jia moved among the bustling crowd in the East Market every day, just like an ordinary citizen.

After his disguise, he looked ordinary and lived a simple and peaceful life in this bustling city.

During the day, he was busy in the Jia family's shop, always with a gentle smile on his face, and getting along well with the nearby merchants.

At night, he returned to his residence in the Jia Mansion, sat alone in front of the window, staring at the starry sky in the distance, letting his thoughts drift.

No one knows how many unknown secrets are hidden in his heart.
